Description

Mindfulness practices can help us to focus our attention, regulate emotions, and observe our thoughts and feelings without judgment. What would happen if you observed your thoughts with a sense of humor, curiosity, and detachment? Incorporating principles of both mindfulness and acting technique, you will explore creative means to achieve the self-discipline necessary for stage performance. Join us for a variety of theatre games that are designed to develop the skills of focus and concentration with a sense of fun.
